Summaries for Kaposiform Hemangioendothelioma

About this section
NIH Rare Diseases : 52 The following summary is from Orphanet , a European reference portal for information on rare diseases and orphan drugs. Orpha Number: 2122 Definition A very rare, aggressive, vascular tumor manifesting in the neonatal period or in infancy as cutaneous vascular tumors to large infiltrative lesions. Visit the Orphanet disease page for more resources.

MalaCards based summary : Kaposiform Hemangioendothelioma, also known as congenital cutaneous multifocal kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, is related to hemangioendothelioma and kaposi sarcoma. An important gene associated with Kaposiform Hemangioendothelioma is GNA14 (G Protein Subunit Alpha 14), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Phospholipase-C Pathway and p70S6K Signaling. The drugs Tacrolimus and Calcineurin Inhibitors have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include skin, heart and bone, and related phenotypes are cardiovascular system and cellular
